Shared FreeAgent tools for VS Code Copilot

Commit your mcp.json to your repo so the whole team uses the same server. Everyone gets access to `list_contacts` and `get_invoice_details` instantly. This keeps your team aligned on financial data. No one has to configure their own local setup.

Enterprise accounting with VS Code Copilot

Use `get_profit_and_loss` to generate team reports without leaving the editor. The AI agent processes the data and formats it for your documentation. You keep your workflow inside the IDE. It is the fastest way to bridge the gap between finance and code.

Manage bills using an MCP Server

Query `list_purchase_bills` to audit your spending directly in VS Code. The agent provides the context needed to resolve discrepancies in the code. It reduces the time spent switching contexts. Your agent handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval.

Setup guide

Set up FreeAgent MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the FreeAgent MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the FreeAgent tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent FreeAgent transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
